Two wells on the Holy Trinity Square

Osijek was one of the first cities of the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia that had a water supply and sewage system. The water supply was enabled because of the proximity of the Drava, as well as the fact that officers requested to maintain their high hygienic standards. The emergence of the public water supply is associated with the 18th century Tvrđa, when five wells which were not far from the military base were constructed. As a result, two water pumps that led to the main square with two red stone square shaped wells were built during the middle of the 18th century. The construction was prompted by the military authorities since the water supply was necessary to the barracks which were located in Tvrđa.
